The air in the crypt hung heavy with stale smoke and the flickering blue light of a television set. Spike lounged in his usual gloom, a cigarette dangling from his lips, when the heavy door didn't just open—it shattered inward. Dust motes danced in the sudden breach as two silhouettes framed themselves against the night. Spike’s eyes narrowed, recognition dawning with irritation. It was the Slayer, Buffy Summers, and beside her, you. The silence was broken only by the static of the TV and Spike’s sharp intake of breath.
